Changes to the North Atlantic subtropical high and its role in the intensification of summer rainfall variability in the southeastern United States
(Journal of Climate, 2011-03-01)This study investigates the changes of the North Atlantic subtropical high (NASH) and its impact on summer precipitation over the southeastern (SE) United States using the 850-hPa geopotential height field in the National ... -
CMIP5 climate model analyses: Climate extremes in the United States
(Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2014-01-01)Given the increases in spatial resolution and other improvements in climate modeling capabilities over the last decade since the CMIP3 simulations were completed, CMIP5 provides a unique opportunity to assess scientific ... -
Influence of land surface on transition from dry to wet season in Amazonia
(Theoretical & Applied Climatology, 2004)Analysis of the fifteen years of European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis suggests that the transition from dry to wet season in Southern Amazonia is initially driven by increases of surface ... -
Intensification of summer rainfall variability in the southeastern United States during recent decades
(Journal of Hydrometeorology, 2010-08-01)The variability of summer precipitation in the southeastern United States is examined in this study using 60-yr (1948-2007) rainfall data. The Southeast summer rainfalls exhibited higher interannual variability with more ... -
Interannual variation of the surface temperature of tropical forests from satellite observations
(Advances in Meteorology, 2015-05-17)Land surface temperatures (LSTs) within tropical forests contribute to climate variations. However, observational data are very limited in such regions. This study used passive microwave remote sensing data from the Special ...
